    So I tried to do this exact thing as preparation one of my ACs and ended up having to scrap it completely because it was completely different from what I was given on the day (despite preparing based on testimonials of previous ACs at the same firm).

    Hi, if I’m doing a virtual interview on zoom, is it acceptable to blur my background? There’s not really a way to set up in my room without a mirror and couch showing up in the back.

    @Jessica Booker Hi, I was wondering if you had any advice on how far back of an experience we can put on our CVs without it looking too old? I want to include some volunteering experience from 2016 but not sure if the firms will think of it as too long ago. Thanks in advance!
